Eric Clapton Touring Tribute Band Journeyman Comes to The Suffolk

authorStaff Writer on May 27, 2025

The only nationally touring tribute to Eric Clapton returns to The Suffolk with Journeyman on Saturday, June 7, at 8 p.m. With over 50 years of music to choose from, Journeyman covers it all — “Layla,” “Badge,” “The Core,” “White Room,” “Lay Down Sally,” “Tulsa Time,” “Cocaine” and countless others.

Shaun Hague (lead guitar and lead vocals) has built quite the resume in the last decade of his life. At just 17, he was named “The Best Young Blues Guitarist” by The House of Blues and by 21, the young guitarist was playing guitar for blues phenom Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His career has also seen him sharing the stage with Amos Lee, John Waite, Terra Naomi, performing on Jay Leno and sitting in with John Fogerty.

Robert Monroe (keyboard and vocals) is the founding member of Journeyman and a versatile performer of blues, gospel, Latin, jazz, and classical. He is a Hammond artist and a highly sought after freelancer in the Chicagoland area. Robert is a regular performer with Elan Artists, Simply the Best, a Tribute to Tina Turner, Andrew Blake Band and many others.

Darius Peterson (drums) has been a fixture on the Chicago music scene as a professional for over 25 years. He began playing at age 3, and has had the opportunity to share stages with many notable artists. Well-versed in the gospel, R&B, pop, and rock genres, Darius continues to contribute to the music scene not only in Chicago, but all across the country.

Dina Bach (vocals and percussion), Chicago-based singer-songwriter and recording artist, has been performing and building an original music career for over a decade, with music airing on Big 95.5, WGN Radio, NPR’s WNIJ, Radio One Chicago and Radio Sobro Nashville. She was also asked to sing the National Anthem for her hometown Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. When not touring with Journeyman, you can find her performing throughout the Midwest, writing music in Nashville and releasing original recordings.

Brandon Stephens (bass) is an accomplished producer and professional musician with over 10 years of experience in the music industry. His style is heavily influenced by Marcus Miller, James Jamerson and Sharay Reed. Stephens was born and raised in Chicago, where he still lives and is an active member of the music community. With his exceptional talent and unwavering dedication to his craft, Brandon Stephens is a rising star in the music industry.

Tickets are $39 to $59 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
